Anyway in regards to this essay ... I love it, very insightful but I am more hopeful than that. I guess I feel that this has happened and I feel that everything happens for a reason. Maybe we needed to go through this "stage" to be able to witness something about ourselves that we had lost as women that we, growing up in this age, could never had experienced. This "age" came about because it had to ...women revolted because the system got so screwed up somehow that we unleashed. I do feel that these things swing way out but somehow it creates balance in the end (so long as we have people like us that look and analyze it and realize that the opposite is not necessarily better). I would say that what we might need is a happy medium. I would love to have a conversation with you one day in regards to what it is that "happened" to women anyway ... I feel on some level that our resentment started building with the whole Judeo/Christian male movement. What happened in Babalyon exactly that made men so mad at us? Why is it that we were put down for so long. I think women would have been fine if we were given credit for the responsibilities we were carrying but I feel as if we got little to none. So this is our teenage phase in spiritual "evolution" if you will where we are rebelling and getting strung out. Hopefully we figure it out to save ourselves and the world built around us ;) That Dove video hits home for me.

Now I have to go pack lunches, wipe noses, gently lecture on minding manners and directly lecture on developing computer application skills. Thanks for the reminder of why I am here and every other man & woman as well. :-) As a cupcake baking, endurance athlete, socially conscience, professional single ma of a 3 & 6 yr old, all I can say is…dead on.

The feminist movement over-shot the arrow. As the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre said, "Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor." The idea of GENDER ROLES was misconstrued by the majority of women in the feminist movement, based on what they tried to accomplish: Make women a mirror image of men. The idea is that women and men are DIFFERENT, but EQUAL. We have different roles, as evolution has taught us. When women run around trying to become a top executive independently, they sacrifice everything you mentioned in your essay. If men are already sacrificing these things because of the Social Darwinism that consumes us, then who is left to take care of everything else? Of course, I'm not stating that everything else, as ambiguous as it sounds, is the sole responsibility of women. We need to understand our separate roles within our species as we evolve or else men and women will slowly drift towards the same center point in the homo sapien sapien river of gender roles.
